China's emergence as a twenty-first-century global economic,
cultural, and political power is often presented as a story of what
Chinese leader Xi Jinping calls the nation's "great rejuvenation,"
a story narrated as the return of China to its "rightful" place at
the center of the world. In China's Revolutions in the Modern
World, historian Rebecca E. Karl argues that China's contemporary
emergence is best seen not as a "return," but rather as the product
of revolutionary and counter-revolutionary activity and imaginings.
From the Taipings in the mid-nineteenth century through
nationalist, anti-imperialist, cultural, and socialist revolutions
to today's capitalist-inflected Communist State, modern China has
been made in intellectual dissonance and class struggle, in mass
democratic movements and global war, in socialism and
anti-socialism, in repression and conflict by multiple generations
of Chinese people mobilized to seize history and make the future in
their own name. Through China's successive revolutions, the
contours of our contemporary world have taken shape. This brief
interpretive history shows how.
